EASTER EGGS.

Their symbolic Moaning and Poetic
Significance.
The egg, symbol of unrevealed life, in all
ages and every country has been the subject
OF poetical myths and legends.
II. France and Germany the custom of offer
Ing eggs at the Easter festival is SO old that its
origin is lost The Russians and Jews also
give Easter eggs, while the Persians pre-
sent them at tho beginning of tho new year.
With the Romans the year commenced at
Easter, as it did among The Franks under the
Carrots. Mutual presents wero bestowed,
and as the egg is the emblcm of the be-
ginning Of all things, nothing better could be
found as an offering. The symbolic meaning
is not to be misunderstood. Eggs are tho
germs of fecundity and abundance, and we
wish our friends all the blessings contained
within its slender shell when we offer the
gift, whose fragility represents that of happi-
hess tere below.
In some remote districts of France it is
still customary for the priest Of the parish to
go roiind to each house at Easter and bestow
on it his blessing. In return he receives eggs
both flain and painted.
The idea of fahricating imitation eggs III
sugar and pasteboarl is of comparatively
modern origin, and was brought into life by
the genius Of trade. In both France and
Ger,ni.ny their manufacture is an important
source Of traffic In Paris, that city which
Beranyer says is "full of gold and misery"
the srlendors of the Easter eggs are almost
fabulous. Once Partisan house furnished,
as present for the infanta OF Spain, an egg
which cost nearly $4,000. 1t was q wonder in
its way. 1t was formed of white enamel; Oh
its inside was engraved the gospel for Easter
day; and by an ingenious mechanism little
bird, lodged in this pretty cage, sang twelve
airs from as many fashionable operas.
Tho designs for Easter eggs in Paris are
more numerous than the flowers of the field,
and more unique and beautiful than the
dreams of barbaric king. Eggs, eggs every
where-eggs unbroken, eggs opened and re-
vealing wonders within, eggs transported on
the shoulders of fairies, eggs decorated in
every conceivable style and made of every
conceivable material

Easter Sunday comes this year on April 10.
Easter day is always the first Sunday
after the full moon which happens upon or
next after March 81, and if the full moon
happens upon Sunday, Easter day is the
Sunday after"
This is the ruling which regulates Easter,
called by the church the festival of the resrir-
rection-originally the festival of the Pass
ovcr-the passover including the whole inter
val between the crucifixion of Christ and his
resurrection. Originally there was feast of
the Lentonic goddess Ostero, the goddess of
spring (whcncc comes our Anglo-Saxon
Easter.
The festival was introduced by preparatory
fasting. Some tasted one day, some two,
some forty hours, that is the forty hours dur
ing which Jesus was supposed TO have been
tenant of the tomb Later the time was ex-
tended TO forty days, in imitation of Christ's
fast of forty days in the Wilderness. Hence
came Lent, which, in its present form, en-
bracing a period Of forty days, cannot lie
traced back beyond the end of the sixth Gen.
fury.
With the old, but not the oldest Christians
the resurrection was all in all-on it the truth
OF Christianity rested. Christ rose the van
quisher of death and hell; the first born from
the dead; the beginning of the new spiritual
creation. Light came out of darkness, as in
material creation. From night all things
came. The festival was called tho "salutary"
festival, the @kingly day" the day of vic
tory the crown and head of all festivals"

THE EASTER MIRACLE.

Through the brown, mellow mold
The croclis lifts its crown Of white and gold;
Among the bloom that clothes the orchard trees
Hum the awakened bees
In every pleasant place
myriad flowers spring up in fragile grace,
Where. through the winter darkness, still and
deep,
Spring called them from their sleep.
The gracious rain, the dew,
The sun, perform their miracle anew;
Terminating llfe-a subtle breath 81
Thrills the cold heart of death.
Dut not TO earth alone
Shall the great mystery be known;
Oh, soul tat Cucs.ionest in doubt and pain,
Taou shalt not ask in vain
reholl how all things grow!
The precedent Germg, stirring beneath The snow,
Break from their bonds at last and find the Sky
As Iastertide draws nigh.
So shalt thou likewise wake,
Thy narrow cell, thy cerements forsakc,
Clothed in immortal YOUTH seeking eternal day,
Arise and so thy way.
